It was one of a few things that contributed to me almost being unable to stand because my back ended up so bad the next day (in fairness, it wasn't the only contributing factor, but was more like icing on the cake after spending a couple weeks on a very uncomfortable bed).
Definitely agree on the seat comfort issue on these 738s. They used to be significantly more comfortable than the seats on the 739's but the padding has collapsed (like many chairs around my house that I cannot convince my spouse to replace) making them very uncomfortable, especially if you don't have your own built-in padding
